The edginess of using a secular publisher

I had to justify publishing with a secular publisher. Very secular. Just added glbt line right about the time I signed. Pretty much all the other christians who pubbed with them dropped out. Did I just want to be published so badly that I'd do anything? WWJD? Cheap shot, I know, but honestly: who do you wa… Continue

Havah

I reached the third paragraph of the first chapter and closed my eyes and rememberd to breathe. Thank God beautiful language isn't dead. Lovely, earthy, incandescent words tumble hand in hand across a page, pulling me into the world fresh made.

At this point, I simply don't want to waste a good story, so I'm not excited about publication issues. Lisa Continue
